Please note that where a team has more than two players and a blind score is required then the blind score to be used shall be that of the absent team member who has bowled the most games, if the absent team members have played the same number of games then highest absent team member's average is to be used.

At present postponed matches have to be paid for by both teams prior to the date of the original match.

In the case of a postponement being requested with only 7 days notice then the team making the request shall pay for both teams and recover the payment from the oposition at a later date.

This change of rule will be addressed at the next AGM but in the meantime it will be implemented with immediate effect to ensure the sufficient funds are always available to pay Spectrum at the appropriate time.

Fun Nights will be held on the following dates:-

15 February 2012,
11 April 2012 and
9 May 2012.

Please note that 4 new documents have been put in the Document Library which can be found in the Downloads Section of the web site:-

Revised League Schedule - Version 3 - Following the arrival of the 16th team - Black Widow.

Individual KO Competition - Starting on 14 September, following last week's draw.

Team KO Competition - Starting on 18 January 2012, following last week's draw.

Constitution - Revision 1 - The Constitution has been revised to take account of the 16th team - Black Widow - Paragraphs 6.2, 16.4, 17.0 and the list of Teams, Team Captains and League Reserves have been amended.

I'm very please to tell you that the Vacancy has been filled by Jan Senko and Petra Senkova who already play on the Monday League.

Please welcome Petra and Jan (Team 16) who will start their season in one week's time on 14 September, as their first match against Gasbag Nerds has already been postponed.

I will update the League Schedule and the revised Constitution in due course.

In order to comply with Regulations to allow us to play free of VAT we cannot have a two week break for Easter in the second round. I have therefore adjusted Week 27 to 4 April 2012. The league will now finish on 2 May 2012.

At the AGM held on 31 August we ended up with 15 teams plus a Vacancy that may be filled very shortly or, if not, it could be filled for the second round.

A warm welcome to Jonathan and John - Twisted Anaconda and to Sam and Dean - Baker's Dozen.

There were three Proposals for consideration:- The first decreased the handicvap base to 210 with the maximum handicap decreased to 67. The second reduced the length of the season. The third provided a target for any walkovers, where the team playing must get 90% of their average to be able to take any points.

The new Schedule will shortly be in the Downloads section of the web site together with the amended Constitution and notes of the AGM. Copies of the Schedule will be made available for everyone when we start the league on Wednesday 7 September, at 7pm as usual.

Play well and have a good season!

If you played in the league last season your handicap, for your first 12 games, will be based on your book average for last season. Afterwards it will be updated after each time you play.

If you joined the league this season your handicap will be calculated after you first play. It will then be used for your second match and afterwards it will be updated after each time you play.

Will those players who have not yet paid for the current season 2011-2012 please let me have their £2 as soon as possible please.

Will those players who have joined the BTBA through another league or those who have joined the BTBA directly please let me have sight of their BTBA cards as soon as possible please.
